Some days are better than others. We all know that. Some days I wake up feeling like I can take on the world and others... not so much. That was me this morning. I woke up feeling completely discouraged.. discouraged with things not going the way I'd hoped.. things not moving along fast enough. It's life.. yeah yeah.. but it's frustrating, right? This can be particularly so while we are on a journey to lose weight and improve our health. We SO want to drop the weight and reach that big goal but it doesn't happen over night.. it takes time. Frustrating... I know you get me. So, I came down stairs and poured myself a coffee like I do every  morning and sat down to read my devotional. The day's topic was "God has a Plan". It was the perfect reminder about God's timing and His faithfulness. I loved what the author Lisa TerKeurst said about God's timing, "The ultimate goal is to grow us to be more and more like his Son, who had incredible faith. I must always keep this in mind because, for some reason, God doesn't seem to want to do things my way or in a time frame that I would choose. ...We need to to learn that God has a plan and to trust him." What amazing truth that is and I needed that reminder this morning. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that all of our waiting and struggles are not in vain, they are simply the perfect opportunities to grow closer to God and strengthen our faith. So, lets not be discouraged by our setbacks or the long process that often comes before reaching our goals. Lets focus on God and allow Him to work in us... to help us establish incredible faith. Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Be inspired today and keep working towards your goals. My dear friend, you got this!
